Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is hereditary and neurological in origin and it never skips a generation.

Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties with word decoding, or the ability to understand how a word’s appearance relates to what it sounds like. Regardless of their intellect, people with dyslexia can experience difficulty reading, spelling, and speaking. 

• Bullying: People with dyslexia are 2–3 times more likely to be bullied.
• Suspension: Students with dyslexia are more than 2 times as likely to be suspended compared to students without disabilities.
• High School Dropout: They are 3 times more likely to drop out of high school.
• Post-Secondary Education: 59% do not complete any type of post-secondary education.
• Employment: Only 46% of working-age adults with learning disabilities are employed.
• Incarceration: 85% of incarcerated youth have learning and/or emotional disabilities.
• Substance Abuse Treatment Programs: Up to 60% of people in residential substance abuse treatment programs have a learning disability.
• Suicide Risk: People with dyslexia have a 3 times higher risk of attempting suicide.

Estimates show that 1 in every 5 children has dyslexia (10.8 million in the US alone). Yet, 80% or 8 million children in the US are undiagnosed.

• It is a tragedy of the first order that while we know clearly the costs of waiting too long, few school districts have in place a mechanism to identify and help children before failure takes hold.
• The average cost for a diagnosis is $2500–$3500 and burdensome solely on parents.
• Diagnosis is highly subjective in nature and solely based on the interpretation from a clinician and the level of experience they possess.
• Currently, the estimated time it takes a child to be properly diagnosed is between 6 and 8 one-hour sessions.
• Testing environments add anxiety to a child who is already stressed over taking more tests.

Customize layouts, font styles and sizes as well as background colours allows for personalized medical intervention in order to help individuals with learning disorders.

Allows for diagnosis and treatment to be performed in a gaming environment, making the experience enjoyable and subsequently maintainable for the child.

Incorporates eye tracking to establish eye movement patterns, eye movement discrepancies, and then train according to whatever deficit exists.

This technology includes live Biometric data including pulse rate, stress levels and EEG brain signals wave activity. With these conditions resulting in a high level of stress and anxiety to the child, being able to monitor these biometrics allows a clinician to better manage patient anxiety during the assessment process.

VisionWEARx leverages virtual reality (VR) to personalize and monitor the environment during the testing experience. It transforms traditional paper-based dyslexia testing into an innovative VR software solution. By combining virtual reality with artificial intelligence (AI), VisionWEARx provides a more accurate, timely, enjoyable, and cost-effective method of assessing dyslexia.

The platform allows professionals to screen, diagnose, and eventually treat dyslexia in a gamified and engaging way. Patients conduct tests in a virtual reality environment, while professionals manage these tests through a companion mobile application.
